Scroll is pleased to present Abstract Paintings, a group exhibition featuring Johnny Abrahams, Vinna Begin, Lawrence Calver, Rafael Kamada, Amy Kim Keeler, Anna Kunz, John Hyen Lee, Mirco Marchelli, Paola Oxoa, Ellen Richman, Sean Sullivan, Jason Thompson, Claudia Valsells, and Caleb Weiss. Abstract Paintings brings together artists whose practices are rooted in a sensitivity to surface, diverging in how that surface is activated. Hailing from across the globe, the fourteen artists demonstrate their personal explorations of color, texture, and form.

In Abstract Paintings, the surface becomes a field of calibrated tension, where edges dissolve or sharpen with intention, and compositions hover between emergence and erasure. Color is not only descriptive but structural, informing perception while resisting fixed spatial hierarchies. Chromatic layers build upon and weave amongst one another, some interrupted and others redirected, producing multifaceted compositions that complicate any straightforward interpretations. Painting serves as a site of inquiry, where the possibilities of media are confronted and reconfigured, reflecting on the complexities of perception and the act of making itself.
